If you used GNOME mainly, the transition probably won’t be too bad. GNOME is the Linux DE most like MacOS. I used GNOME for years before buying my first MacBook and I wouldn’t say I felt right at home, but I was home-adjacent lol. Still mainly use Linux on my desktop, but don’t mind switching to my MacBook when I’m on the go. It helps that MacOS is Unix-based, so it’s way more compatible with my workflow than windows, and a lot of CLI tools I used in Linux just transfer right over.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about anything.

The software for linux phones is pretty much there. Gnome and KDE mobile are surprisingly capable. There’s built in apps for every basic thing you’d need on a phone like a dialer, SMS app, camera, etc. plus all the normal apps adapted to work with mobile like the calculator and maps apps.

The only real limitation is with the hardware. I have no idea why all new linux phones launch with specs from a decade ago. You can get a better experience by flashing ported Postmarket OS to an Android phone like the Nothing phone or a OnePlus 6t.

It shouldn’t be like that, no idea why it’s impossible to just have a linux phone with decent specs and a good camera on par with modern flagships.

Consumers: “We don’t want AI data centers anywhere near our homes!”

Nvidia: “Ohhhh, you want them as close to your homes as physically possible?”

How is it able to get the latitude and longitude of the devices? As far as I’m aware, the bluetooth spec doesn’t provide coordinates as part of its metadata. And you’d need some kind of triangulation method otherwise. I’m certainly not able to get the coordinates of my bluetooth devices. Wish I could, would make finding the remote a lot easier.

I’m highly suspicious that this entire project and even these responses are all AI-generated. Something about the grammar and use of em dashes that really seems fishy to me. And in their first (almost identical) post to this one, someone said that hiding the source code could make people suspicious it’s been authored by AI, and OP responded “what counts as ‘AI-authored’ to you?”. Veeeery sus

I use Jellyfin along with the iOS client Manet. It’s not the best UI for CarPlay, but it gets the job done.

Not sure about an answer to your question, but to clarify, are you trying by to do something similar to Wolf?

I think it actually uses GStreamer as a backend which is a bit unfortunate because HDR support is either nonexistent or hit or miss with GStreamer at the moment. I’ve also had worse performance with GST over MPV, but most videos and codecs are fine. It certainly integrates better with the GNOME environment which may have been a driving factor in the decision to use it over MPV.

It’s not blurred, but the UI for Showtime (GNOME Video Player) looks pretty similar with the edge to edge video playback and transparent controls overlay: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime

Seconding ZeroWater filters. They’re black magic. Fast, convenient, and the taste I get in my espresso is miles better than any Brita filter.

Pretty much any distro will work for gaming these days. Really up to personal preference. I use Arch but have heard good things about Pop!_OS.
